In 2012, Swervedriver reunited for a late night appearance on Jimmy Kimmel and a handful of live shows. At the time things were looking up for Swervie fans, especially after the band debuted a new track, "Deep Wound," on Kimmel. The band indicated in interviews that other new music was in the works (in April 2012 leader Adam Franklindisclosed they were planning to do some new music, but didn't have firm plans for a record or release. In a separate April 2012 interview the possibility of new music was discussed with Glasgowest and Franklin again said they were working on new stuff but that they'll "see how that goes.") Not too surprisingly, nothing new has surfaced from Swervedriver.

While we may or may not hear new music from Swervedriver in the future, some new music from Franklin is indeed on the way, and soon. Adam Franklin & Bolts of Melody has three full length releases under its belt, and a fourth one is coming this summer. On July 16th Black Horses, the follow up to the 2010's album, I Could Sleep For A Thousand Years, will be released. Pre-order now through iTunes. A listing for Amazon and Goodnight Records will be available soon. Check out the tracklisting and cover art for the album is posted below.

...hang the dj

...hang the dj is the headquarters for my old radio show Time Warp, which aired on 89X radio until March 2017. I am currently hosting a new, independent, internet-based version of Time Warp. New episodes post Sunday mornings around 9am ET. Stream the show archives here or here.

...hang the dj is a music blog serving as a complement to my streaming program. As such, mostly old school and classic alternative bands are featured, however occasionally new music from shoegaze, dream pop, psych, post-punk, and darkwave genres will be featured. If you have a worthy music project that fits one of these genres, feel free to get in touch via email.
